Crossword Genius

Men loved step dancing events (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

developments

'events' is the definition.
(development is a kind of event)

'men loved step dancing' is the wordplay.
'dancing' is an anagram indicator.
'men'+'loved'+'step'='menlovedstep'
'menlovedstep' with letters rearranged gives 'DEVELOPMENTS'.

(Other definitions for developments that I've seen before include "Move Len's dept (anag.)" , "Evolutions" , "MTD envelopes (anag.)" , "Progressive changes" , "Fresh events" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
